Class: Paris in the Springtime with Shay Silva

Join Shay this Saturday afternoon and create two elegant, Paris-themed cards that beautifully demonstrate the versatility of one stamp.  A favorite feature in the Stampington publications called With One Stamp or A Different Point of View, looks at how many different ways an image can be used to make a number of cards that may or may not have common themes.  Shay goes one better by showing you how to do this in person.  Each card is exquisite, but showcases different embellishments and techniques to give it very different finishes.  Paris is always a favorite card making subject for any occasion and these cards will prove to be a lovely gift for a special recipient. 

Add the following items to your kit, if you have them:  foam tape or dimensional pop dots, Distress Ink in Black Soot, Glossy Accents, various Copic markers to color the flowers, and Fabri-Tac Glue.  

April 14th, Saturday:  1:00pm - 4:00pm (class fee $25.00)    

Class: Fulfilled in Life with Shay Silva

Now teaching classes at China Phoenix 2...Shay Silva!  You know her and love her from the many classes she takes at CP2, and no doubt you have worked alongside her at some point during a class.  She's always quick to assist her classroom neighbors and now she's bringing that knowledge to the other side of the classroom dynamic by teaching!

Shay's first class features exquisite die cuts using a couple of Tim Holtz' Alteration dies combined with a faux metal finish for texture and depth.  The beautiful handmade butterfly embellishment replicates an expensive adornment found in craft specialty stores.  Showcase these elements against a handstamped/embossed background and you have an amazing art piece to share or keep for yourself.

Glossy Accents

Adirondack Dabbers in Copper, Silver, Pitch Black
